Hereinafter, embodiments are described with reference to the drawings. Here, in each drawing, like elements are referenced by like numerals.

FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a sectional view of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment.

In the semiconductor device according to the embodiment, a stacked body obtained by stacking a plurality of semiconductor chips (hereinafter, simply referred to as chips) 11 is mounted on amounting substrate (interposer) 51, and the plurality of chips 11 and portions of the mounting substrate adjacent to the plurality of chips are covered with a sealing resin 80.

Although FIG. 1A illustrates a structure in which, for example, 8 chips 11 are stacked, the number of chips 11 to be stacked is arbitrary. The plurality of chips 11 are, for example, memory chips having the same thickness, the same length and width, the same layer structure in the thickness direction thereof, the same material, and the like.

According to the embodiment, a plurality of two-chip stacked bodies 10, each having a structure formed by bonding two chips 11 so that circuit surfaces 12 a of the chips 11 face each other, are stacked on each other.

The pair of chips 11 in the two-chip stacked bodies 10 are joined by wafer-to-wafer bonding as described further herein. Bump connection of the two chip bodies is performed to connect the plurality of two-chip stacked bodies 10.

FIG. 1B is an enlarged cross sectional view schematically illustrating a portion of the semiconductor device 10 shown in FIG. 1A, and illustrates a partial cross section of the two-chip stacked body 10.

As shown in FIG. 1B, each of the chips 11 include a semiconductor layer 12, a wiring layer 13 (interconnects), a through electrode 18, and a joining metal (or an intermediate electrode) 21.

For example, a silicon substrate is used for the semiconductor layer 12. Alternatively, a silicon layer in a Silicon On Insulator (SOI) structure is used for the semiconductor layer 12. Further, a layer (substrate) made of a material, for example, SiC and GaN, in addition to silicon may be used for the semiconductor layer 12. In the following description, a silicon substrate is used as the semiconductor layer 12.

The silicon substrate 12 includes the circuit surface 12 a and a rear surface 12 b on the opposite side of the circuit surface 12 a. Here, the rear surface 12 b is a rear surface in relation to the circuit surface 12 a.

A semiconductor IC including a transistor (not illustrated) is formed in the circuit surface 12 a. For example, in the case of a memory chip, a charge storage layer and a control gate electrode are formed on the circuit surface 12 a.

The wiring layer 13 connected to the semiconductor IC and the control electrode is provided on the circuit surface 12 a. Although a multilayer interconnect style of wiring is illustrated in FIG. 1B, the wiring layer 13 may be a single layer. An interlayer insulating layer 14 is provided between the wiring layer 13 and the circuit surface 12 a, between the different wiring layers 13, and on the wiring layer 13 which is the uppermost layer (furthest layer from the circuit surface 12 a of the substrate 12).

The interlayer insulating layer 14 comprises, for example, at least any one of silicon oxide (SiO), silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitrid (SiON), silicon carbide nitride (SiCN), and silicon oxycarbide (SiOC).

The wiring layer 13 is a so-called on-chip or interconnect wiring layer, and different from a redistribution layer (RDL) 41 as provided in the resin on an outermost chip of a plurality of stacked chips.

A resin layer 15 is provided on the front surface of the interlayer insulating layer 14. For example, a benzocyclobutene (BCB) resin is used in the resin layer 15. Alternatively, a polyimide resin or an epoxy resin is used in the resin layer 15.

The through electrode 18 is provided extending through the silicon substrate 12. Further, a rear surface electrode 19 is provided on the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate 12. The through electrode 18 penetrates the silicon substrate 12 at a position where the rear surface electrode 19 is formed, and it connects the rear surface electrode 19 to the wiring layer 13 on the circuit surface 12 a side of the substrate 12. For example, metal using copper as a main component thereof is used for the through electrode 18.

An insulating film 17 that prevents direct conduction between the through electrode 18 and the silicon substrate 12 is provided between the through electrode 18 and the silicon substrate 12. For example, a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a silicon oxynitride film is used for the insulating film 17.

The joining metal (or intermediate electrode) 21 is embedded in, and extends through, the resin layer 15. The joining metal 21 penetrates the resin layer 15 and a portion of the interlayer insulating layer 14, and is connected to the wiring layer 13 on the circuit surface 12 a side of ht substrate 12. For example, metal including copper as a main component is used for the joining metal 21.

The chips 11 having the structure described above are joined so that the circuit surfaces 12 a (the wiring layers 13) face each other to form the two-chip stacked bodies 10.

The joining metal 21 portions of the chips 11 are joined each other, and also the resin layers 15 are joined (adhered) to each other.

In FIG. 1A, bumps 31 are provided, for example, between the rear surface electrode 19 of the upper chip 11 of the lowermost two-chip stacked body 10 and the rear surface electrode 19 of the lower chip 11 of the two-chip stacked body 10 on the two-chip stacked bodies 10 connected by the resin layer 15. The bump 31 is, for example, a solder ball or a metal bump, and connects the rear surface electrodes 19 of the upper and lower chips 11. Thus, bump connections are established between the plurality of two-chip stacked bodies 10.

In FIG. 1A, a redistribution layer 41 is provided on the rear surface 12 b of the lower chip 11 of the lowermost two-chip stacked body 10. The rear surface electrodes 19 of the lowermost chip 11 are connected to the redistribution layer 41. The redistribution layer 41 is provided in the resin, and connects the wiring layer (on-chip wiring layer) 13 of the chip 11 and the wiring layer of the mounting substrate 51 by expanding the spacing between the connecting locations from the close spacing of the chips 11 to the wider spacing of the connecting locations of the mounting substrate 51.

Bumps (for example, solder balls or metal bumps) 32 are provided on the lower surface of the redistribution layer 41, and a stacked body including the plurality of chips 11 is mounted on the mounting substrate 51 through the bumps 32. External terminals (for example, solder balls and metal bumps) 52 are provided on the rear surface of the mounting substrate 51.

The stacked body on the mounting substrate 51, and the adjacent surfaces of the mounting substrate 51, are covered with the sealing resin 80. Further, a resin 85 is filled into any gap between each adjacent pair of two-chip stacked bodies. That is, the bumps 31 connecting the two chip bodies are protected from the adjacent environment by being covered with the resin 85.

The amount of filler included in the resin layers 15 between the two chips 11 of each two-chip stacked body 10 is less than the amount of the resin 85 between the two chips 11 of two adjacent two chip stacked bodies 10 which are connected through the bumps 31. Alternately, the resin layer 15 contains no filer. Since a distance between the chips in the joining between wafers of each two chip stacked body 10 is shorter than that between the chips 11 of two adjacent two chip bodies joined through the bumps 31, and the influence of the thermal expansion of the resin on the reliability of the semiconductor device 10 is small, the amount of the filler for suppressing the thermal expansion may be smaller than that in the resin 85 (or the filler may not be included).

The semiconductor ICs (also including memory devices) in the plurality of chips 11 are electrically connected to the wiring layer of the mounting substrate 51 through the wiring layer 13, the joining metals 21, the through electrodes 18, the rear surface electrodes 19, the bumps 31, the redistribution layer 41, and the bumps 32. Then, the wiring layer of the mounting substrate 51 is connected to an external circuit through the external terminal 52.

The plurality of chips 11 are memory chips, and they are connected to a common data input and output terminal 90 by parallel connection (bus connection), as illustrated in FIG. 10.

That is, data input and output lines of the plurality of chips 11 are connected in parallel to a common data bus 91 via the through electrode 18, the joining metal 21, and the bump 31 in a stacking direction of chips.

FIG. 11 is a cross sectional view schematically illustrating a stacked body obtained by stacking the plurality of chips 11 (the plurality of two-chip stacked bodies 10) of the semiconductor device illustrated in FIG. 1A.

As illustrated in FIG. 11, if a pitch between the circuit surfaces 12 a of two chips 11 facing each other is “a”, and a pitch between two chip 11 rear surfaces 12 b facing each other is “b”, “a<b”, i.e., the distance a is less than the distance b. Further, the distance “a” and the distance “b” are alternately repeated in a stacking direction of the plurality of chips 11.

Next, a method of manufacturing the two-chip stacked body 10 is described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9. The processes illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 9 proceed from a wafer state, and partial cross sections of wafers W1 and W2 are illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 9.

First, a wiring layer 13 (interconnects), a through electrode 18, rear surface electrode 19, resin layer 15 and a joining metal (or an intermediate electrode) 21 on and where appropriate in, the silicon substrate during a wafer process. Then, two wafers W1 and W2 are bonded together so that the circuit surfaces 12 a or the substrates 12 to be cut therefrom face each other.

In FIG. 4, the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 before bonding are illustrated. The first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 have the same structure, and all elements are arranged in a mirror symmetry manner with respect to a bonding surface thereof.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 are bonded so that the positions of the joining metals 21 of the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 are matched. Two wafers W1 and W2 are bonded under pressure and heating, the joining metals 21 are bonded to each other, and the resin layers 15 are adhered (wafer-bonded) to each other.

After the wafer bonding, the silicon substrate of the first wafer W1 is ground from the rear surface 12 b and is thus thinned as illustrated in FIG. 6. Even when the silicon substrate 12 of the first wafer W1 is thinned, the silicon substrate of the second wafer W2 functions as the supporting body. Alternatively, the silicon substrate 12 of the second wafer W2 may be ground and thus thinned first, by using the silicon substrate of the first wafer W1 as a supporting body.

The silicon substrate before the grinding has a thickness, for example, of 700 μm or more. If the through electrodes are formed, the silicon substrate is ground to have a thickness, for example, of about 30 μm to 50 μm after grinding, and if the through electrodes are not formed, the silicon substrate 12 is ground to have a thickness, for example, of about 100 μm to 500 μm.

After the silicon substrate of the first wafer W1 is thinned, a via 16 is formed through the back side of the first wafer W1 to reach the wiring layer 13 of the first wafer W1 by penetrating the silicon substrate 12 as illustrated in FIG. 6. For example, the via 16 is formed by performing etching such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE).

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the insulating film 17 is formed on the inner wall of the via 16, and extends therefrom on the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate 12 within the circumference of the rear surface electrode 19. Then, the through electrode 18 and rear surface electrode 19 are formed, the through electrode within the via 16 extending through the insulating film 17, and the rear surface electrode 19 over the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate 12. The insulating film 17 is interposed between the rear surface electrode 19 and the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate 12, and between the via 16 and the silicon substrate surfaces.

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a supporting body 100 is bonded on the rear surface 12 b side of the silicon substrate f the first wafer W1 in which the through electrode 18 is formed. In FIG. 8, the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 illustrated in FIG. 7 are illustrated upside down as compared to their relative orientation in FIG. 8.

The supporting body 100 is a rigid body such as a glass substrate. The supporting body 100 is attached to the silicon substrate 12 of the first wafer W1 through an adhesion layer 101.

The silicon substrate 12 of the second wafer W2 is then thinned by grinding the silicon substrate from the rear surface 12 b side while the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 are supported by the supporting body 100.

After the silicon substrate 12 of the second wafer W2 is caused thinned, a via is formed which extends through the silicon substrate 12 and reaches the wiring layer 13 of the second wafer W2 in the same manner as the process therefore for the first wafer W1.

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the insulating film 17 is formed on the inner wall of the via 16 of the second wafer W2 and the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate 12, and it extends over the rear surface 12 b of the substrate to the circumference of the rear surface electrode. Then, the through electrode 18 is formed in the via 16 over the insulating film 17, and the rear surface electrode 19 connected to the through electrode 18 is formed on the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate over the portion of the insulating film 17 disposed on the rear surface 12 b of the silicon substrate. Further, the bump 31 is formed on the rear surface electrode 19, if required for the connection paradigm for the joined body to be formed.

Thereafter, the joined body of the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 is subjected to dicing, and the supporting body 100 is them removed (separated), so that a plurality of diced two-chip stacked bodies 10 are obtained.

For example, in a state that the supporting body 100 is attached to a dicing tape, the second wafer W2 and the first wafer W1 are subjected to dicing. Alternatively, the first wafer W1 and the second wafer W2 may be subjected to dicing after the supporting body 100 is separated therefrom.

The two-chip stacked body 10 according to the embodiment is obtained by performing dicing after wafer-to-wafer bonding, not by performing chip-to-chip bonding of two previously diced chips. Accordingly, the two-chip stacked body 10 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having continuous side surfaces.

As illustrated in FIG. 1A, a plurality of diced two-chip stacked bodies 10 are stacked on the mounting substrate 51, and gaps or spaces between the plurality of two-chip stacked bodies 10 are filled with the resin film 15. Alternatively, the plurality of 2-chip stacked bodies 10 are bonded together by the resin film 15.

Further, as will be described herein, a single chip 11 may be stacked on the two-chip stacked body 10 and connected thereto by the bump 31 as illustrated in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3A.

In a Through-Silicon Via (TSV) structure, if the substrate is thin, and the size of the surface of the through electrode in the thickness direction, and the width direction orthogonal to the thickness direction, of the substrate 12 is reduced, parasitic capacitance between the through electrode and the substrate which face each other through the insulating film is reduced. However, if the substrate is thin, handling of the substrate becomes hard during a process of combining the substrates to forma plurality or two-chip bodies, bonding a chip to a mounting substrate, or the like.

Here, according to the embodiment described above, after two wafers W1 and W2 are bonded by wafer-to-wafer bonding so that the circuit surfaces 12 a face each other, one side of the silicon substrate 12 of the wafer W2 is used as a supporting body, and the other side of the silicon substrate 12 of the wafer W1 is thinned and the through electrode 18 is formed. Thereafter, after the supporting body (rigid body) 100 is bonded to the already thinned side of the wafer W1, the outer facing surface of the other wafer W2 is thinned, and the through electrode 18 is formed also in the wafer W2.

Therefore, the substrates 12 of the two-chip stacked bodies 10 are thinned, and the TSV structure may be formed without difficulty in handling, because the individual two chip stacked bodies have not been singulated from the wafers W1 and W2, and the glass carrier helps support the wafers W1 and W2. As a reference example, the thickness of the substrate 12 of the two-chip stacked body 10 according to the embodiment may be reduced to about ½ of the thickness of a chip where the two chip stacked structure if forms by stacking individual chips.

Accordingly, the size of the surface of the through electrode 18 that faces the silicon substrate 12 through the insulating film 17 may be reduced to about ½ compared to the reference example, and a parasitic capacitance between the through electrode 18 and the substrate 12 may be reduced to about ½.

Specifically, if the number of the chips 11 to be stacked increases to increase the storage capacity of a semiconductor device, the number of TSV's increases, and the influence of the parasitic capacitance likewise increases. However, according to the embodiment, since the parasitic capacitance of the TSV is decreased by thinning the substrate and thus the chips 11 of the two chip stacked bodies 10 cut therefrom, a decrease of electric power consumption may be obtained.

Further, since the two-chip stacked body 10 has a structure in which chips 11 having structures therein and thereon formed in mirror symmetry at the surfaces bonded to each other, any warpage generated in the chips 11 are offset from each other, so that the two-chip stacked body 10 with a small warpage may be obtained.

In FIG. 1A, for example, a structure in which 4 sets of the two-chip stacked bodies 10 are stacked is illustrated. However, two or three sets of two-chip stacked bodies 10 may be stacked, or 5 or more sets of the two-chip stacked bodies 10 may be stacked.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, a stacked body obtained by stacking the plurality of chips 11 is bonded to the mounting substrate 51 with the redistribution layer 41 on the chip 11 furthest from the mounting substrate 51. The redistribution layer 41 located as the uppermost layer, and the mounting substrate 51, are electrically connected by wires 61.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 2B, the stacked body obtained by stacking the plurality of chips 11 and having the redistribution layer 41 located on the chip 11 furthest from the mounting substrate 51 may be connected to the external terminal 52 (solder bumps) through the redistribution layer 41 directly without requiring a mounting substrate 51.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3A, a logic chip 71 may be mounted under the redistribution layer 41 under the lowermost chip 11, in other words, at a location between the chip 11 closest to the mounting substrate 51 and the mounting substrate 51 itself. The logic chip 71 is joined to the redistribution layer 41 through the bumps (for example, solder balls or metal bumps) 72. The logic chip 71 is electrically connected, for example, to the lowermost chip 11 (through electrodes and wiring layers) through the redistribution layer 41.

The logic chip 71 is an interface (IF)/controller chip that controls the memory chips 11.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3B, in an alternative embodiment, a two-chip stacked body 10′ in which a chip 11 without the through electrode 18 and chips 11 having through electrodes 18 are joined through the joining metal 21 and the resin layer 15.
